Sometime in January I began to notice those yellow-and-green heatmap like grids of 5×6 squares showing up in my Twitter and Facebook feeds. I had no idea what they were, but they reminded me of celluar automata. They seemed to replicate like celluar automata, too, because before long, it seemed like many friends and family…
I’m not much of a gamer. (For great posts about gaming, check out Paul Weimer‘s Roll Perception Plus Awareness column over at SF Signal.) But every once in a while I come across a game that I used to play that I really enjoyed. I’ve written about Stunts and LHX and one of my all-time-favorites,…
I gave Kelly her Valentine’s gift yesterday, since we had a busy day today, and she gave me not one but two cards this morning, which made me realize that I hadn’t gotten her any cards. Nevertheless, we had a very nice Valentine’s day–our first as a married couple. I was up at 6 AM to feed the…
We slept in this morning, which was nice. I think we were finally up at around 9 AM. Kelly made waffles, with the waffle-maker we received from AJ and Denisse. After breakfast, I went to the concierge to collect the package we received yesterday. I turned out to be the stroller that Jason and Logan got for…
Productive work day today. It was one of those days where I told myself that I was going to solve a particular problem before I left the office, and sure enough, shortly after lunch, I had the problem solved. I was pleased with that. I had leftovers for dinner and steamed some broccoli for Kelly to go along with…
I was up ridiculously late last night–until almost 2 AM. I started playing Tiger Woods 2009 at around 9:30 PM and ended up in a tournament that I eventually won, but it took a long, long time. I can’t recall the last time I did something like that. Nevertheless, I was up at 6:30 this morning, excited for…
Last night we went t a friend’s house to play Rock Band. It was my first time playing. We started the evening off with some good pizza from a local pizza joint. The three of us started playing Rock Band around 8:30 PM. When we finally decided to call it quits, it was nearly 1:30 AM!…
This has probably been going on for quite some time, right under my nose, but my attention was drawn to it by this Yahoo!Tech article I saw this morning. Apparently, cheating at video games has been steadily on the rise and has become enough of a problem that cheaters are being punished. Set aside the…
[Written on November 12, 2007] Kelly and I hit the road at 7 AM. The GPS predicted a 11:12 AM arrival in Stony Point at vickyandnorm‘s house. We were there at almost exactly 11 AM. Boy, making that drive with someone to talk to in the car makes a huge difference. The time flew by…
